Your child’s self-esteem is built when you spend time with them.

But what should you do during that time?

Here are 5 different ways you can plan your time with your child to ensure that you build their self-esteem

1. Testimonial time
Play a game where each person in the family lists out 3 things they like about the other members of the family. Your child will be pleasantly surprised to see what you like about her/him and so will you.

Feeling liked for who they are raises your child’s self-esteem

2. Tracking time
Write a Gratitude Journal
List out 3 good things that happened that day.

Focusing on what is good instead of what is bad raises your child’s self-esteem.

3. Teamwork time
Start doing a tough project with your child. Invest time doing something small every day to reach the goal you have set.

Working together and achieving something seemingly impossible through consistent effort raises your child’s self-esteem

4. Trekking time
A trek is always about overcoming unexpected physical and mental challenges

Overcoming challenges builds self-esteem

5. Trust time
Trust your child to do something like paying the electricity bill independently

Being trusted with responsibility builds self-esteem.

Type TIME and schedule time for these things in your calendar immediately
